The search for a woman, who fell off from an outlook point on the edge of a cliff at Uvongo, has been under way since yesterday (Wednesday).

According to eye-witnesses, a group of people were sitting at the point on the cliff.

It is believed the woman (40) then slipped and fell down into the water which was rough and dangerous.

Darius Heenen from Wolf Security said a volunteer from Tidy Towns alerted everyone to the incident.

K9 Saps Search and Rescue, Wolf Security, NSRI Shelly Beach and paramedics responded.

Heenen said they searched for a hour and a half yesterday afternoon, with NSRI flying its drone.

“I was back on the beach at 07:00 this morning (Thursday) to continue with the search. I flew my drone over the falls, and the surrounding areas but nothing has been seen so far,” he said.

Ugu District Communications said police officers conducted a beach and shore search using search dog Djini with negative results. The search will continue today (Thursday).
